My little sister took all these photos for me. She's getting really good at this stuff.

Decided to go to Value Village today and thrift an entire outfit for... you guessed it, Halloween 2012! Never too early to start looking, ya know. If you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know that I never buy retail costume sets... I always piece together things that I already have to form the ultimate amateur eh-it-could-pass-for-a-costume costume, as shown here and here.

But this year I thought I'd thrift pieces instead of trying to pass off my clothes as a costume. It worked out well, and all I need to do now is cut and glue cardboard onto something, sew black fabric onto something else, and use fabric markers to draw something onto something! Heheheh. Can't wait for this Halloween, when I'll have to commute to my classes and probably confuse a busload of strangers! (Last Halloween I really only confused my Econ 101 prof and random humourless Puritans passing me on campus.)

Some inspiration that's been collecting dust on my computer harddrive:

Thanks so much for writing back. Such thoughtful words too. They really meant a lot to me.

I was born and raised in Kunming, China and my family and I moved here in 1999 when I was 12. I also lived in the suburbs, in Delta and grew up there all throughout high school and a little bit during university.

Other than my family and a few family friends, I literally don't interact with any Chinese people. You are probably my closest Chinese friend right now. Heh heh.

Do you still live in Langley? How do you commute to UBC everyday? My boyfriend works at Mahoney's and Sons at UBC and I sometimes visit there. Perhaps we can finally meet each other one day. We can go to a show or go shopping.
